Helping my child handle vaccines, doctor´s appointments and medical procedures

Live Class · Emotions & Behavior

Vaccines, medical procedures, doctors’ offices and medical centers can be scary… for children and adults alike!

Class Description

The way we approach children’s vaccines and other procedures establishes a mental and emotional blueprint they will utilize for the rest of their lives. In order to help create a healthy blueprint, we must replace “get a treat if you’re good” and “surprise” approaches with emotionally sound strategies that promote safety and connection.
